All the best to the Inverness trials guys on their "big nicht oot" tonight!

It's a lads only event!

Bartender, make mine a Red Bull on the rocks, I'm chauffeur!!!

Cheers...

How can you possibly have fun without alcohol - You're so shallow ;)

Old farts night out for us too - Bright lights, big city, Oswestry!!!
Ours is lads only too, but only because we're too ugly to pull :o
Well Doughbouy is and I don't like him to feel left out :huh:

My wife's funny about that sort of thing anyway. Look out for her, she's on the way to Scotland with the kids. A week of peace and quiet, while they drive Granny closer to the grave :ph34r:

Enjoy yurselves tonight but I assumed there would be very little intelligent conversation after several drams & since i cant drink decided to give it a miss.

I felt i would be out of place being the only one sober in a venue with a freee bar - then again the chances of me getting an award are NIL!

In Big John's case, it's because if he drinks then he has to buy a round and that's a definite no-no! :ph34r:

I've just posted Big John a few quid for a prized item for me, reckon he could buy a few rounds with that :ph34r:

Have fun lads!

I have been taken for a ride last night at the "Big Nicht Oot".

I've officially been "gotchaed" and presented with a bike I certainly wouldn't have bought on e-bay!!!

A genuine Pre-65 Honda 50 step through with original Ross-shire registration number.

I am trying to find out where the guys got it from. That IDMCC Secretary knows so I must find out how to get rid of the thing. If my digi camera disk was working I'd post a photo of it!

That "classic" machine is sitting in my front garden right now - nobody has even attempted to nick it! It's getting funny looks from the neighbours!!!

Mind you I like the registration number, pity I couldn't recover that!

Nice bike John - no I am not kidding, a real classic, does it have a pushrod or OHC engine?
